1. God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.I thirst for You;my body faints for Youin a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
2. So I gaze on You in the sanctuaryto see Your strength and Your glory.
3. My lips will glorify Youbecause Your faithful love is better than life.
4. So I will praise You as long as I live;at Your name, I will lift up my hands.
5. You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.
6. When I think of You as I lie on my bed,I meditate on You during the night watches
7. because You are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.
8. I follow close to You;Your right hand holds on to me.
9. But those who seek to destroy my lifewill go into the depths of the earth.
